Our Treatments

Braces

Metal or Clear? Take your pick. We love to provide options for our patients and with Dr. A's experience and our technology, a new SMILE is easier and quicker to achieve than ever before!

Invisalign

This discreet treatment uses a series of virtually invisible, removable aligners that are made with 3D computer imaging technology.

Early Treatment

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends visiting the orthodontist around age 7 for problems such as crossbites, underbites and prolonged thumb habits, which typically require intervention prior to age 10.

Teen Treatment

Braces (metal and clear) and our clear aligners (Invisalign) are and have always been great options for our teens to make their SMILES even better!

Adult Treatment

Orthodontic treatment is no longer just for teens. The American Association of Orthodontists states that one in five orthodontic patients is over the age of 21. Due to Dr. Altherr's experience and the technology we use, treatment times are even shorter and the actual treatment is evan easier for adults who often want more options.

TADs

Temporary anchorage devices, or TADs, are small titanium anchors that Dr. Altherr uses and places himself to help achieve results that otherwise would require more involved and expensive treatment.

Soft-Tissue Laser

Soft-tissue laser can help expedite orthodontic treatment with our patients. It is easy and in most cases, only requires a topical (gel) anesthetic.

Emergency Care

True orthodontic emergencies are rare, but when they occur, we are here for our patients to call/text/email.

Meet Dr. Altherr

"I feel that I am really fortunate to be an orthodontist, and love what I do. I am passionate about my profession and practice in Apex. I am privileged to use my skills to positively affect my patients’ lives.

I enjoy getting to know each patient personally, and their family. I also appreciate seeing the smiles and the results at the end of treatment. I still remember my orthodontist (Dr. Vonnie Smith) when I was younger, and how much fun I had, and how cool he was."
